For our annual review of stories, some of the Indy’s writers and editors have put together lists of the stories they were proud of this year, or just had fun writing or reading. Here are Copy Editor Tessa Reeg’s picks.

Channel Islands Shipwrecks Tell Stories of Heroism, Heartbreak, and High-Seas Scalawaggery by Tyler Hayden — I’ve lived in Santa Barbara my whole life and had no idea our ocean floor was home to so many unfortunate ships. Tyler did a great job compiling the history and telling the stories of these ships and the people who sailed them.

Starshine Reflects on the Women’s Suffrage Centennial by Starshine Roshell — Starshine’s writing is always a pleasure to read, and her witty, opinionated prose combined with the historical facts about women’s suffrage made for a wonderful piece.
